Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Engelns.
Judged on this season alone, Engelns graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 6th of 8 of the 8 defensive midfielders in the 3. Liga, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.576 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 13).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, top 25% of the 8 defensive midfielders in the 3. Liga. At 19 Engelns is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 16.1 reflects that trajectory.
Engelns is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
3.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 38.8, Engelns carries the 2nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 3. Liga (top 25%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Hoffenheim II finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~20), then tapers with age. At 19, Engelns sits on 16.1, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Engelns's projected Rating — 38.8 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
